Causes & actions from Lennox

How it shows
  • iComfort S30 alert: 114

Priority condition: Service Soon/Service Urgent In most cases the errors will have something to do with the transformer(s) phasing, input power or output loading (amperage load). For the air handler control only, alert code 114 is generated only if the measured line frequency is below 57Hz or above 63Hz and remains out of range for 10 consecutive seconds. We count power line cycles and determine line frequency every 1 second of time based on the processor’s quartz crystal oscillator. We have a fair amount of filtering on when we consider a power line cycle to have occurred, so there would have to be really bad distortion for it to count an extra cycle or miss a real cycle. Voltage low enough to miss a cycle would generate an alert code 115. There are lots of events, such as power utility substation switching, that could occasionally make our power line frequency off by one count. These are rare one-time events and I don’t know anything other than a generator with bad frequency that could cause problems long enough to cause this alert code. There is a frequency / distortion problem with the power to a specific system component. This alert code may indicate transformer overloading. • Check the voltage and line power frequency. • Check the generator operating frequency, if the system is running on back-up power. • Correct voltage and frequency problems. • System will resume normal operation five seconds after fault recovered. • All applicable system component outputs are disabled – moderate condition. • After 10 minutes, the priority condition is escalated – critical condition. • Damper control module will operate in central mode only until proper voltage is restored or frequency distortion is resolved – moderate condition. • If connected to iHarmony, set damper control module transformer jumper to system transformer. Check for proper wiring. Replace 40VAC furnace transformer with 70VAC transformer. Re-commission system. NOTE: The unitary control (outdoor unit control board) whether it is a single, two-stage or multi-stage control is not displaying alert code 114.
